Born with a great love for the Uchiha

You! Danzo Shimura! Why!

Four root teams!

Sixteen Chunin and Jonin!

With so many elite ninjas, they could easily fight a small-scale battle on any other battlefield!

Did Shimura Danzo wipe them all out in one battle?

Even if it were sixteen pigs, they wouldn't be slaughtered so quickly!

So many elite ninjas perished in the Land of Fields.

Even for a large and powerful village like Konoha, this level of loss is still incredibly painful.

"Uchiha Gen".

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, his voice hoarse and low.

"Is everything you've said true?"

"It's true."

Gen Uchiha nodded.

"Shimura Danzo is currently being held in a special prison of the police force, and the three of you are welcome to visit him at any time."

These words were spoken.

The Hokage's office fell into a deathly silence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's already gloomy face became even darker, as if water could drip from it.

The expressions of Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, two old Konoha veterans, were not much better.

The same thought flashed through the minds of the three old men from Konoha.

'Shimura Danzo, you deserve to die!'

This moment.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions desperately wished that their longtime friend Danzo Shimura had truly died in the Land of Rice Fields!

When a person dies, all is over.

If Uchiha Gen were to come knocking again at this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others could even turn the tables and accuse the Uchiha clan of "murdering a high-ranking elder."

Anyway, there's no way to prove it since the dead are dead.

But Danzo Shimura didn't die!

Not only did he not die, he was also captured by the Uchiha clan!

It's more than just waste.

It's simply—

waste!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all fell silent.

"Please sign quickly, Third Hokage."

Seeing that the three old men from Konoha were starting to pretend to have dementia, Gen Uchiha spoke up to remind them.

"The Love and Compassion Newspaper will be published tomorrow morning, and everyone in Konoha will know about Danzo Shimura's evil deeds—"

"Uchiha Gen! You can't do this!"

Mitokado Homura suddenly stood up and, in a moment of quick thinking, managed to come up with a reasonably acceptable excuse.

"Shimura Danzo is a high-ranking elder of the village! His affairs involve the village's top secrets! They cannot be made public!"

"Can't it be made public?"

Gen Uchiha tilted his head, his smile vanished, and he instantly activated the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Elder Yan, are you working in the police force?"

"What are you police forces trying to do!?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat right next to him, while Homura Mitokado, relying on his monkey-like strength, showed no fear of the Sharingan's ferocity.

"You want to convict the village elders without a trial!"

"Do you Uchiha people want to rebel?"

"Yan! Shut up! Don't say anything that could disrupt unity!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Homura Mitokado with a furious shout.

“Yuan, and Shishui, my two advisors and I need to discuss some issues. Please wait outside for a while.”

Who dares disobey the Hokage's orders?

Gen Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha exchanged a glance and left the Hokage's office together.

The two Uchiha had just walked out.

Mitokado Yan couldn't help but scold him.

"Look at the look in that Uchiha brat's eyes just now! The teacher was right after all! He really is a born evil Uchiha!"

"That's enough, Yan."

Xiaochun, turning to her new room, sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

"What we need to be most concerned about right now is the Danzo issue."

"What's the problem?"

Mitokado Yan pushed up his glasses, managing to calm himself down.

"Danzo just made a mistake that any village would make, it's just common for ninjas, it's a small mistake."

"Of course I know it's just a minor mistake!"

Xiaochun rolled her eyes at her old friend as she turned to the next room, and couldn't help but raise her voice.

"But he was discovered and caught, which was a huge mistake! A terrible mistake!"

There's an old saying that goes something like this.

Some things are only truly significant when weighed.

It's on the scale; it weighs over a thousand pounds.

If Shimura Danzo had not been arrested.

He remains a high and mighty elder, the supreme leader of Root, and can still hide in the shadows of Konoha and do whatever he wants.

but.

He was arrested.

Everything was laid bare.

That would be a serious mistake that cannot be ignored!

To know.

The core spirit of Konoha is built upon the "Will of Fire".

What is the Will of Fire?

Where leaves dance in the air, fire burns eternally.

The main emphasis is on how the older generation of ninjas sacrificed themselves to inspire the younger generation to protect the village.

Now look what's happened.

Danzo Shimura, a high-ranking elder, led the attack on the village's young genius.

Moreover, they even colluded with Orochimaru to kill him!

What's the point of talking about the Will of Fire then!

Let Konoha be destroyed already!

"Danzo...sigh...he..."

Mitomon En hesitated for a while, but ultimately, out of consideration for their past relationship, he didn't say anything harsh and changed the subject.

"But we can't actually issue a search warrant for the root of the problem to the police force, can we?"

"You know, the Uchiha clan are all lunatics."

"We can't investigate everything, can we?"

"What if they actually find out something?"

Danzo Shimura was a man who did the dirty work for Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane all knew this.

However, they really didn't know what specific dirty work Danzo Shimura had done.

The leaves that grow in the sunlight only need to "bear fruit" and don't need to care about what nutrients the "roots" absorb in the dark.

Regarding the "darkness" that Shimura Danzo carried.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew more than Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane combined, but only to a limited extent.

None of the three people present wanted to see what kind of serious "dark secret" the police force might uncover.

A moment of silence fell over the Hokage's office.

In the end, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who spoke.

"We cannot refuse Gen Uchiha's request."

Mitokado Homura said impatiently, "Hiruzen! You—"

"Yan, stop talking."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fell on the newspaper that had been left behind.

"Danzo... went too far."
